Re: Character Creation Chain

(Good one, CM!)

He has a clone-brother - Julian Mormount II

A famous 3-d feelie critic, Julian is most commonly seen wearing his trademark full-length purple cloak with the gold clasps. Able to kill a complete career with an off-hand remark. he is hated and feared by the entire acting profession of Old Earth.
In private, however, he is a modest, unassuming man who insists that he is only doing his job, has a devoted wife and one son. called Montmorency.
Enjoys seafood, Crepes Susette, and is a wine-buff of the highest calibre.
Gets on well with his progenitor (see above)

Re: Character Creation Chain

Tyria Shel'tiar is a bastard daughter of the ancient Al'tiar line of Kings and Queens of the Thousand Kingdoms. She is scorned by her seven true-born siblings, mostly due to the favouritism shown her by her father. But with her father ailing, and her sister Qinnia set to take the throne, Tyria is all too aware that soon she will be on her own, left to fend for herself in a nest of vipers. She could leave, of course, but that would be the easy option... and she was never one to take the easy option.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Shalim Shalm Shalim comes from the land of Uleiva, a desert land known for it's production of fine wools and bizarre magics. Shalim ShalimShalim Shalim is not one to differ much from the common description of an Uleivian. He dresses in gilded fabrics and practices magics of grand illusion of the type only seen in the Markets of Ulevia. This hides the fact he is, in fact, a cunning thief of the highest order and robs all the well to do folks he encounters in the Ulevia markets.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Mordrena Kalshern is the youngest of the seven daughters of Abidus Kalshern, the Sage of the Wandering Sands. Being the seventh, she is called the Lucina Elmerda, the Luck of the Desert People. There was a time where that name meant something to her, but as of late it has been something of a curse. She's been hunted by the veiled assassins of the Mansur for a decade. Without knowing the true motivation of the godless king she has harmed, even killed to steer clear of capture. She is unaware that Abidus's seventh wife, the mother that she thought died in the birthing baths, was a Wailing Sister, and Mordrena, being the seventh seed of her father's making and of her mother's whom, is an immortal. The Mansur could rule a thousand years, over a hundred kingdoms, with but one pint of her blood...

Re: Character Creation Chain

As with many characters of only one name, Yorkin is fairly unmemorable, a mere stablehand in a backwater Duke's keep. He is a man of simple means and tastes. He is devoted to his job, treating the horses in his care better than many a mother treats their children. He despises his lord Duke, who is mean and arrogant and thrashes the horses almost to their deaths. If he wasn't so lowly, Yorkin fancies he'd give the Duke a good thrashing, see how he liked it...

Re: Character Creation Chain

Girard Hunte

Girard is a minor nobleman of the House of Hunte, who have dedicated themselves to the protection if the lands of Firozan. He holds the rank of Captain, and commands a group of soldiers as they strive to keep the warlike Balain tribes from invading their borders. If he had more free time to himself, then he'd spend it with the woman he loves, but the war demands all of his attention. Grey eyed, and with a black beard streaked with grey (his subordinates jokingly refer to him as a badger), he is never afraid to plunge into battle at a moment's notice.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Felizia Rosse

Felizia is a young, indentured servant in the service of a wealthy man known only as "sir." Aside from horrifying bits and pieces that come to her in dreams, she does not remember much of anything prior to her service for this man and she is punished if she ever speaks of it. As the days go by, she finds herself yearning more and more for a life more exciting than that of a workhorse, however with no money, no memories, and no knowledge of anything outside the estate, her insecurities have her trapped.

When she gazes in the mirror, a face she'd rather not think about stares right back at her. This woman's eyes are a pale grey, her hair a dirty blonde, and underneath the dirt, her fair skin still has some radiance to it. Perhaps one day, before what's left of her youthful glow fades, the sombre woman in the mirror will smile.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Devlin Hartmoore is bloodkin - a trueborn vampire. Pale and beautiful, Devlin is vampire nobility, with the Hartmoores able to trace their lineage past Vlad the Impaler, all the way back to the vampire cults of the Etruscans. Though Devlin's best friend Rafe Lonquist is currently questioning the moral basis of killing people to survive, Devlin has no such qualms, and will often take a life even when he's not all that hungry.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Joe Smith is the king of the Middle-lands, and despite his somewhat average name, is far from being an average Joe. He's fought two long, arduous wars against the Grogg Empire, won a water ballon fight against their last despot, effectively dethroning him by force of embarrassment alone (the Groggs are touted as being the best balloon fighters this side of the KrateBhig Ocean), and led a small sortie against his neighbors to the north, the Behlhopps, who were depositing their toe-nail clippings south of the border - which was having very negative effects on his rezoning plans. Needless to say, there has been a time of toe-nail-less peace and most of the population ( excluding the Ferrywhets, who, to the king's displeasure, had rather enjoyed collecting and making necklaces out of said clippings) are fit, healthy, and quite pleased with themselves. Joe has found love, worked out a great welfare plan for the impoverished, enlisted the assistance of an engineer to help him build a working banana bread mixer, and has plans for erecting a statue in his image, which will be made out of his favorite accoutrement, feathered bowler caps, and placed deep under the kingdom's main square, so as not to offend any passersby. Where glory and honor are concerned, Joe Smith could be counted among those who wanted naught, but received much.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Joanna Merrigold

Joanna wants to be an ordinary woman, but she can't due to the fact that she can read the thoughts of others. After finding out the difference between what people say and what people think, she keeps pretty much to herself, becoming lonely despite her ability, and she struggles to rise above having so many different thoughts in her head. To look at her, people would have said she was beautiful with her red blonde hair and pale blue eyes, but she no longer believed anything people said. Their thoughts betrayed their jealousy and negativity whilst their words said compliments, leaving her very much embittered.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Xiang Sedici despised his parents. He hated everything that they stood for: power, influence, utter corruption and yet; he could only be in awe of a couple who flouted societies intolerance of difference so scandously. Of course money helped; but it was certainly true that in no-one (ever) laughed at them. Not even behind little paper fans. He supposed that too many had fallen off a bridge for that. Taking a deep breath he adjusted his cuffs, insured his wig sat squarily and - beaming his inherited looks to the mass - entered the room. Time to bloody-party.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Castor palkov

Trained as a pilot for years, and he dreamed of being the first man to ever see the edge of the universe. Slightly arrogant and bad tempered, he spends a lot of his time running simulations and making final preparations before his ship is finally ready. As he spends so much of his time working, it's no wonder that people find him difficult to get along with. Sandy haired and with steely blue eyes, Castor is extremely impatient, except with the preparations to fulfil his dream.

Re: Character Creation Chain

Jisela Terron

A parking attendant in the city of Bristol, Jisela Terron changed his name by depol to be that of his Dungeons and Dragons character after he decided to live his real life by the ideals and creed of his swashbuckling elvish RPG character. Dedicated to defending his home of Lothlorien (the car park) against invading Orcs (Chavs) and Wraiths (Junkies), the somewhat bookish Jisela has been hospitalized on no less than sixty three different occasions, and has yet to triumph in a single battle. Likes to eat chips, tickle cats, and read from the hidden scrolls of Aragaforaoth (abandoned copies of FHM magazine). Once ingested a signed copy of JRRR Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings.
